World Championships

[Its Always Sundstrom]

Stupid ESPN+ only has Latvia/Finland.

 

[minibrodeur]

Mercer and Graves look a little meh.

Unfortunately Graves has always looked a little meh to me.

Mercer and Graves look a little meh.

Graves played very little, I believe I heard he had some kind of injury last game. But he's +3, whatever that means, and has an assist.

I haven't noticed Mercer at all.

Severson (most used player), Hischier (dominant performance, one goal, another disallowed) and Siegenthaler (very solid and physical in defense, one goal) all look really good.

Stupid ESPN+ only has Latvia/Finland.

Can you get the game on the IIHF website? They have a free stream, but it's not available in every country.

I’ll check it out. Thanks!

Mercer has played a butt ton of hockey this year. I admire that he’s in the tournament but take a breather this summer young man!

 

[FinnishDevil]

I'd love for Switzerland to win gold. Its like a home game for them in Helsinki.

Hockey grows a ton in European countries due to WC and Swiss/Germany etc win would be huge for the sport. Czechia or Slovakia too. I still hope that one day Norway and Denmark get a boost similar to Swiss and Germans.

 

[Capt Nico Poo]

I have predicted Switzerland to win. Also predicted before the game that they'd beat Canada.

 

[FinnishDevil]

6-3 Switzerland! Nico has been huge this game although he took a dumb penalty and earlier he had a 2on1 and ended up on his ass true Nico style

Did they get a shot of him at the bench after with the Nico face too

Nah, he did the face while he was with his ass on the ice.

No breaks lol! He said he's going home this offseason, he should call up Crosby, MacKinnon and Marchand. They'll be training together right around the corner.

 

[Guttersniped]

Mercer has to be pretty tuckered out.

He went from two sporadic seasons in the QMJHL (plus the WJC tourneys), playing 49 total games in 2019-20 and 39 total games last season, to 82 NHL games as a 20 year old rookie.

Ending up on his ass only makes Nico stronger, Canada had no idea of the forces they unleashed.

Oh....Italy and Slovakia just starting? Nice.

slovakian coach Craig Ramsey looks a little like Patrick Stewart.

 

[Captain3rdLine]

Slovakia is playing Italy right now.

Czech is playing too but it looks like Jiricek is scratched today.

 

[glenwo2]

Interesting...it seems the shifts for Slovakia are a bit shorter for Slaf or maybe it's for everyone (by design)?

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

Simple shot on net, assist for Slafkovsky

 

[Devil made me do it]

Slafkovsky with another assist

 

[glenwo2]

Love that from Slaf.

Get the puck on net and keep it simple.

Pick your spots to do razzle-dazzle

 

[Ripshot 43]

Slovakia is playing Italy right now.

Czech is playing too but it looks like Jiricek is scratched today.

Jiricek dropping to the early 2nd round confirmed

 

[Devil made me do it]

Kid is looking as good as in every game. Consistency.

Announcer makes mention of the Devils potentially picking him.

Announcer also makes allusions to Tatar mentoring him.

The Devils selecting Slaf would ensure Tatar remains in NJ for the time being. lol

Good vision there by Slaf to try and find Tatar....the pass was just tipped.

Jiricek dropping to the early 2nd round confirmed

Would love that.

Not gonna happen in a million years but....who knows?

I would be fine with that. As frustrating as he can be I feel like Tatar always offers a decent effort.

 

[Devil made me do it]

Second assist for Slafkovsky

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

Slafkovsky assist number 2. Good patience
